What does it have to do with the fact that  I got it from itch.io? They should not modify the game files in any way. Can you explain why you assume that?

It does because some sites are not reputable and can contain altered games, which do contain trojans, viruses, etc. Getting it from a site like itch.io, means there's less of a chance that some jerk had infected the file and then uploaded it.
